Yes, you'd have to build something that converts the traps to logs.
LogicMonitor has always frowned at reliance on traps due to their unreliable nature and due to the fact that you can 99.9% of the time get at the data through polling, which opens a whole better mode of monitoring. Case in point: the fourth search result for "snmp traps vs polling" is a blog post I did 9 years ago where I talked about a different product's ability to receive/process traps.
One of my mantras: "Just because you did do it one way, should you continue to do it that way?" Think about the goal? How can you adjust to a better observability mechanism and enrich your data. Think about it, you can't do dynamic thresholds on a trap, but if you were polling the data you could.
